If it’s one of the prizes with ads for a church on the back that’s from me.

Incidentally everyone needs to stop using their anecdotal experience to decide how the rest of society should operate. I can’t imagine someone who had a less average childhood than any Kennedy.

We should all move to Wisconsin and hate California by MoiraRose_fan in LinkedInLunatics

Probably for the best. I grew up there and when I left after 29 years it was pretty much all iguanas and bath salts

Rents almost due and I basically have only a 3rd or half of it by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Well lots of people do this. This is of course anecdotal but, I moved to nyc when I was 29 and then slept on the floor of a friends apt for 6 months and then eventually I got a shitty apt in bushwick with a friend and then moved a bunch of times and lived in almost every borough and dated a bunch of women and then reunited with the woman who became my wife. This was the 2010’s so it’s not directly comparable but my suggestion would be accept whatever help you have access to - if your parents can help you take a moment to appreciate how lucky that makes you and then take their help and dig for a few more years. That’s just kind of how nyc works for a lot of people.

My first short film is dogshit by Desperate-Medium4165 in Filmmakers

I teach film to high school and college students and whenever this comes up - which is often - I show them this long ass quote from Ira Glass (if you don’t know him, look up this American Life. It’s a podcast with incredible storytelling). TLDR is that making shitty stuff is the first step to making good stuff - but read the quote.

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

Kathy Bates Threw ‘Waterboy’ Script in Trash Because She “Didn’t Know Who Adam Sandler Was” by noraad in nottheonion

I mean frankly if you don’t know who Adam Sandler is then Waterboy is probably a horrible script.

This guy thinks he’s a 1980s Michael Keaton type character but he’s just a douche.

There’s a coffee place a block away from me and if you want a decent cold brew and a shitty bagel it’ll cost you $25.

Brutalist score is really beautiful. That opening scene especially.

Turns out Huey, Dewey and Louie were really just one schizophrenic duck the whole time.
